Tom Philps, Founder

Tom founded AUG-Met in 2020 to fill a perceived gap in existing bioinformatics tools that aid in the development of novel enzymes.

He believes that there is a correlation between enzymes and their respective substrates that can be quantified by a neural network with the correct architecture and training data. AUG-Met was founded on this principle.

Tom is a graduate of Emory University with a degree in Applied Mathematics. He used his classroom experience with molecular biology and computational modeling to begin developing AUG-Met immediately out of college.
